submit2.C does not flush the control file before filtering. As a workaround, to modify the control file I do something like fp = fopen(cfc->fname, "r+"); fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_END); fprintf(fp, "%254s\n", ""); before adding "I" or "S" records as needed. I reckon about 32 bytes per record is enough (possible records may be "U", "V", "w", "E", "p", "W", and "A", in addition to "8".) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
